REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI)- WOLF CREEK NUCLiAR OPERATING CORPORATION - WOLF CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT 1 (TAC NO. MA1294)
Dear Mr. Maynard:
The NRC staff has reviewed Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation's March 20,1998, request for amendment to the Wolf Creek technical specifications to support modification to increase the spent fuel pool capacity at the Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station. As a result of the review, the staff has determined that additional information is needed to complete the review. The information needed is detailed in the enclosure.
To assist the NRC staff in meeting its review schedule, we request that you respond to the RAI in writing within 30 days of receipt of this letter.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-1362.

Although Boral neutron absorbers are not expected to exhibit significant corrosion in the spent fuel pool environment, some corrosion will occur. This corrosion will be especially pronounced for the fresh Boral panels, when they are still unprotected by the aluminum oxide film. How does Wolf Creek plan to ensure that the neutron absorbing capability of the Boral panels will not be degraded after exposure to borated water in the spent fuel pool?
